The first story I wrote was quite literally an almost exact copy of the show Jackie Chan Adventures, with different character names and more dragons. I started it in fifth grade and after a year or so it became a completely over-the-top fantasy with just about every creature and setting you can imagine. I've actually continued working on this same story since then, which is almost half my life (nearly ten years now), and it has evolved into an epic hard science-fiction trilogy. It's virtually unrecognizable to what it once was, other than the title, Thirteen Dragons. But then even that has a totally different meaning. Originally it was referencing ACTUAL dragons, now it's just metaphorical.
Ironically that story has pretty much become my baby and what I hope to be my magnum opus, though I don't actually intend to really write it until I'm at least in my thirties (I doubt I'll consider myself good enough until then). Still, I'm always working on building up the characters, universe, and major events of the series.
